Cannot run rasa server and rasa actions simultaneously

Question

Basically I am able run only one server(action or shell) at a time. So how can I run custom actions

This the error I get when I try to run them.

OSError: [Errno 48] error while attempting to bind on address ('0.0.0.0', 5005): address already in use

Command used for rasa server :

rasa shell

Command used for rasa action :

rasa run actions

This error will appear when you're using the same port for both servers. You need to specify a different port for the action server.

In your project's folder, look for endpoint.yml and change the port of the action server to a different number (rather than the default of 5005).

For example:

action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:5055/webhook"

I hope it's clear :)
